But I do admit ...I agree with what you said aswell. But I do admit I, myself am a music snob...My main beef is that, when someone talks to someone in the industry they always say it's the songs that matter. By that they mean, does it fit the template of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, etc, with lots of hooks. If a band doesn't adhere to that template, they will be ignored. But if everyone follows the same path, does music get a chance to evolve? Or premutate into a new amalgamation of what's already been done?<BR/><BR/>That's why I admire David Bowie. He has constantly changed his sound yet remarkably kept sounding like David Bowie...<BR/><BR/>Alot of it falls on the producers in my opinion. Not every song needs triple tracked vocals throughout the whole song, or scores of guitars such Les Pauls, Strats, and PRS' run through different amps to create what is essentially a basic sound. Something that can be done with any good guitar and amp. Or using the same drum samples for every artist. What happened to miking up an instrument and getting a good sound? The advent of digital recording has stolen alot of personality from the artist by following such practices.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599395569901432804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079636489877928536.post-44188293525701698752009-03-19T14:56:00.000-07:002009-03-19T14:56:00.000-07:00Then there's Flight of the Conchords who parody th...Then there's Flight of the Conchords who parody themselves but their parody makes them successful...it's a weird world. :)Ed Araquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668921825918396045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079636489877928536.post-43375074068539807392009-03-19T13:39:00.000-07:002009-03-19T13:39:00.000-07:00I think that anyone who gives you any flack obviou...I think that anyone who gives you any flack obviously doesnt listen to the radio. I agree with you in the things that you said. <BR/>I wanted to add a comment though. I think the radio ends up being the killer for the local bands and their local fans. I mean most bands want to make it big like nickleback, so the radios help them in that sence. However the radios over play the songs so many times. A hit song from a band is probably play a least once every hour on the radio. I think people get sick of the repeated songs so much that they lose intrest in the band all together.<BR/>I think a lot of bands are sincere about being original and not getting dragged into "business" when they start off. However if they enjoy their music they want to play it for as many people as they can. Then before they have any idea what happend, they are in. The "business" is like a black hole and no matter what you do you get sucked in. If people like you music you doomed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
